so the sunnis have little reason to believe that the government in baghdad is something that they want to support. my sense from what i've read in the last few days is that this has served as a wake-up call for maliki and he is beginning to reach out to the sunnis and see if he can't restore their role in the government and get them back on side in terms of the government. the other problem that you alluded to is that over which he really doesn't have much control is the spillover from the syrian civil war. and that has clearly increased the level of violence in iraq. so far we don't see the shia extremist groups that we had to deal with in 2007 and 2008 coming out of their quiessence and getting involved in the violence. but if al qaeda's violent attacks on shias and others in the country continues, we may see that. so there are these two very serious problems about iraq that are going on in iraq. my hope is that maliki will, as a result of these -- of all this violence, begin to do what he did when he went down to basra and took on the shia extremists. he'll reach out to the sunnis a
